Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM:

PER CURIAM:

This is an appeal by Loffland, owner of a seagoing drilling tender, from a verdict and judgment in favor of one Huekabee, an employe of a service company, Marine Catering Service, Inc., for injuries suffered by Huekabee while descending a ladder aboardship; a cross appeal by Huekabee from the action of the trial court in crediting the judgment against Loffland by a settlement payment made to Huekabee by his employer; and an appeal by Loffland from a judgment by the trial court dismissing a third party complaint by Loffland against Marine Catering following a jury verdict that no “indemnity is due to Loffland Brothers Company by Marine Catering Company.”

We have carefully considered the record and each of the grounds of appeal and cross-appeal, and find them all to be without merit. The substantial issues were fact issues. They were resolved by the jury following a charge by the court which we find adequately presented the issues for determination.

The judgments are affirmed.
